Short Biography
In 1351 Longchenpa had a daughter born to Kyipala and in 1356, a son named Gyalsé Tulku Drakpa Özer (or Dawa Drakpa), born in the Year of the Fire Monkey. Dawa Drakpa, also known as Thugsé Dawa, as he is popularly referred to now, was a manifestation of the Dharma protector Hayagriva. He later became a great scholar and practitioner and a holder of the Nyingthig lineage.
Longchenpa’s son, Gyalsé Tulku Drakpa Özer, was born inside a cliff below the road between Tharpa Ling and Zanglai Pogto. His mother, Kyipala, used a large stone bowl to wash the baby with the water flowing from the cliff. This large stone bowl can still be seen today.
